Disney World are a frequent source of conflict after separation, and the subject of many Family Court motions, perhaps because the non-travelling parent is jealous or fears that the trip could give the travelling parent an advantage in having a relationship with a child. Judges do not care about those concerns, judge base these parenting decisions only on whether the trip is in the child's best interest. Judges will generally allow small manipulations of the parenting schedule to allow a child to go on a vacation.
So, the issue is: what do you do when a parent unreasonable refuses a travel request? Read this page for your options and the steps you may have to follow to go on the trip. Unfortunately, if the other parent cannot be persuaded, and continues to unreasonably refuse to allow a parent and child to travel, it may be necessary to go to Family Court. On the upside, if the judge is upset enough, the resulting Court Order may dispense with the necessity of getting travel consent in the future if the other parent is just being unreasonable.
